A:
Socket.io is using Ajax long polling which is more resourceful. Pusherapp on the other hand is real push. Pusherapp has various libraries, they have gem for rails, wrappers for python and GAE. You can also try other services like:
- Pubnub
- Beaconpush
- Hookbox
- Pubsubhubbub (using XMPP instead of websockets)
- Kwwika

you can take a look at this video to grab the concept of long polling and pushing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMXe-xK0BWA . By the way, the video is about Channel API from Google that might be released soon. Take your time, it's worth watching
